When a current of 5 A flows through an ammeter, it gives full deflection. The resistance of ammeter is 20 \(\Omega\). If the same ammeter is to be used for measuring a maximum current of 10 A, then the ammeter must be connected to a resistance of :

  1. A 40 \(\Omega\) in series
  2. B 40 \(\Omega\) in parallel
  3. C 20 \(\Omega\) in series
  4. D 20 \(\Omega\) in parallel
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 20 \(\Omega\) in parallel

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R_s = \frac{I_g R_g}{I - I_g}\) \(R_s = \frac{5 \, \text{A} \times 20 \, \Omega}{10 \, \text{A} - 5 \, \text{A}}\) \(R_s = \frac{100 \, \text{V}}{5 \, \text{A}} = 20 \, \Omega\) 20 \(\Omega\) in parallel
